I am trying to make it so that when you buy a developer product you get 10000 points but it just gives me an error

The script is inside ServerScriptService:

local marketPlaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")

local productId = 1233194930

local function processReceipt(recieptInfo)
	
	local player = players:GetPlayerByUserId(recieptInfo.PlayerId)
	if not player then
		-- Player probably left
		-- If they come back this will be processed again
		return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.NotProcessedYet
	end
	if player then
		-- What do you want the dev product to do?
		local leaderstats = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Points
		leaderstats.Value += 10000
	end
	
end

marketPlaceService.ProcessReceipt = processReceipt

The error:

  19:37:12.396  ServerScriptService.PointsDevProduct:16: attempt to index nil with 'leaderstats'  -  Server - PointsDevProduct:16
  19:37:12.396  Stack Begin  -  Studio
  19:37:12.396  Script 'ServerScriptService.PointsDevProduct', Line 16 - function processReceipt  -  Studio - PointsDevProduct:16
  19:37:12.396  Stack End  -  Studio

local leaderstats = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Points

You are trying to get LocalPlayer On the server

Do this:

local leaderstats = player.leaderstats.Points

Try changing it to:


local marketPlaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")

local productId = 1233194930

local function processReceipt(recieptInfo)
	
	local player = players:GetPlayerByUserId(recieptInfo.PlayerId)
	if not player then
		-- Player probably left
		-- If they come back this will be processed again
		return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.NotProcessedYet
	end
	if player then
		-- What do you want the dev product to do?
		local leaderstats = player.leaderstats.Points
		leaderstats.Value += 10000
	end
	
end

marketPlaceService.ProcessReceipt = processReceipt

You need to make the dev product marked successful
`

if player then
– What do you want the dev product to do?
local leaderstats = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Points
leaderstats.Value += 10000
return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.PurchaseGranted
end

`

you can’t use game.Players.LocalPlayer in a Server sided script. That only works in Local Scripts.
So you need to use player in place of game.Players.LocalPlayer.
